St Mary's Church

The Parish Church of St Mary is the Anglican parish church for Potton in Bedfordshire. It has been a Grade I listed building since 1966 and comes under the Diocese of St Albans.
There has been a church on the site since the 11th-century but the present structure is 13th-century in origin, with 14th, 15th and early 16th-century additions and is built of cobblestones and ironstone with ashlar dressings with a mixture of plain and embattled parapets. It has a chancel, South chapel, nave, North transept, North and South aisles, North porch and West tower. The chancel dates to the 13th-century but was reworked in the 15th-century; the chancel has a 19th-century pointed-arched three-light East window and a 16 arch two-bay South arcade. The North elevation has a square-headed three-light window to the East and a four-centre headed two-light window the West, both dating to the 15th-century. Between these is a four-centred arched doorway with a small 13th-century lancet window above. Below the North East window is a piscina moved here from the North East vestry.
